This week was amazing and exhausting. The heat wave has officially hit France and the French are no longer wearing clothes... it makes porting an adventure.
The highlight of this past week happened on Saturday morning. There was this woman up the road from our apartment named Bijou. We have been trying to contact her for over a month. We passed by her home earlier this last week and came across a 20 year old girl named Atalia. Atalia told us we could come back on Saturday at 11.
We returned on Saturday morning and the front door is already open. Through the door we see a long hallway with doors on both sides. A girl comes out and we ask if Atalia is at home. While we are waiting for Atalia, kids are walking in and out of the doors greeting us with a 'hello'. Soeur Grewar asked me "have you been keeping count?" "I'd say there are at least 6. All the kids we've seen so far are different."
Atalia finally comes to the door and welcomes us into the living room. There, we see 10 kids, sitting perfectly quiet ready to listen to the "Good word of God". We had an awesome lesson with them. The spirit was so strong and I could tell that they GEUINELY want to know their Savior.
After the lesson we asked if we could come back early the next week and they responded emphatically "WITH PLEASURE!!" Later that weekend, we were walking back to our apartment and they all came running to us and yelling our names. :)
We felt loved by our new amis.
It's really hot and I'm tired -- so that's all you get for this week. Sorry, but please know that I love you!!
Here is a pic to make up for my weak letter :)
Je t'aime
